Awaken Personal Power: Dopamine, Flow & a 30-Day Reset
Feel stuck in a Groundhog Day loop—even after therapy or self-help?
This deep-dive blends brain chemistry (dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin), trauma-aware tools, and spiritual practice into a 30-day plan that actually sticks.
Feeling stuck, low, or looping old patterns—even after “doing the work”? In this episode I map the science of change (dopamine, oxytocin, endorphins, serotonin), nervous-system regulation, and spiritual practice into a simple, sustainable 30-day reset you can build on to 60/90 days.
f you’re looping old patterns, start here👇
Pick one gentle daily habit (breath, 10-min walk, 1 page journal).
Mute phone till after your first task (save your dopamine for you!).
Tell me your one 30-day goal + which chapter helped most. I’ll reply with a nudge + a micro-plan you can steal.
what I cover
Why calming the nervous system comes before willpower
Using dopamine for focus (and avoiding the phone-scroll trap)
Oxytocin, endorphins & serotonin: how relationships, movement and joy fuel momentum
The stretch zone (not panic), flow states, and novelty for healing
Trauma-aware change: move from survival → learning → thriving
Practical planning: a light daily system you’ll actually keep
If you’re rebuilding after burnout, low mood, toxic dynamics, or you just feel flat and want your spark back—this is for you.
